Svensk jihadist mötte verkligheten

Häromdagen beslöt Storbritannien att lämna ut den enögde och enarmade predikanten Abu Hamza al Masri till USA, vilket ger anledning till återblickar på det terrorträningsläger i Oregon som han skulle bygga med hjälp av svenske Oussama Kassir.

Så här dråpligt skrev Les Zaitz i lokaltidningen The Oregonian:

"Oussama Kassir, a self-proclaimed al-Qaida tough guy, flew into a rage after his late-night arrival at a remote Oregon ranch.

The barren rangeland, suggestive of Afghanistan, was to become an Islamic fighter training base.

Kassir expected to be welcomed by Muslim recruits, eager to learn the ways of war.

Instead, he got an Islamic leader from Seattle, a mentally impaired 18-year-old and two women more interested in canning jars than jihad.

Kassir expected access to a weapons armory.

He got one pistol and a .22-caliber rifle. "
